Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon

With
nearly 35 million articles in 288 languages (and growing), Wikipedia has become
a staple of internet culture and a standard reference for the general public
since its inception in 2001. To help improve the quality of biochemistry and
molecular biology-themed Wikipedia pages, ASBMB, in conjunction with the Wiki
Education Foundation’s Year of Science, will host a BMB-themed
Wikipedia edit-a-thon at EB2016. The edit-a-thon will take place during “ASBMB
Game Night,” an informal, science-focused event for students and post-docs
during the meeting.

The Wikipedia Year of Science 2016 is an unprecedented targeted initiative designed to improve
Wikipedia’s potential for communicating science to the public. The
multi-faceted effort is a program conceived and run by the Wiki Education
Foundation ("Wiki Ed”), with support from the Simons Foundation.
